CHOCOLATE MOUSSE TART
This is an old favorite that I used to make for special occasions. It is quite heavy and more like fudge, so serve small wedges, especially after a meal.

BILL GRANGER'S WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE (WITH BLACKBERRIES)
This is a variation on Bill Granger's white chocolate mousse. It is so easy and looks very impressive. This is my go-to chocolate mousse. I have used dark chocolate and milk chocolate, and it has turned out beautifully. If you don't have blackberries, don't worry. Most berries or any tart-ish fruit pair quite well with this. The original recipe used fresh passionfruit.

Steps:
- Place the chocolate, milk and vanilla together in a bowl. Pop in the microwave for 20 seconds. Stir then heat for another 20 seconds. You may need to do this 3 times. A heat-proof glass bowl works well.
- Heat the mix until the chocolate is just melted. Be sure to stir as it heats.
- Once the chocolate is nearly melted, set aside and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Whisk in the egg yolks and salt.
- In a seperate bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks. Fold the cream into the chocolate mixture in thirds, being careful not to overmix.
- Next beat the egg whites until peaks form. (I beat the egg whites first and set them aside then whip the cream. saves washing). Fold this into the chocolate mixture as well.
- Spoon into pretty teacup or ramikins, about 3/4 full. This leaves room for the fruit you will add later.
- You can eat this right away. But I prefer it to let it firm up for at least 3 hours in the fridge.
- Just before serving, top the mousses with the fresh fruit, and enjoy!

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will ensure a rich, flavorful mousse.
- Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up quickly and smoothly.
- Don't over-whip the cream. If you do, it will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Don't stir it, or you will deflate the mousse.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set and develop its full flavor.
- Garnish the mousse with fresh berries or other fruit before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

The chocolate mousse tart with fresh berries is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
